Hayırlı Olsun | Turkish Ottoman Culture Cats Kaffeetasse

Hayırlı Olsun is a warm, everyday celebration of Turkish culture told through charming cat illustration and familiar comforts. This design features an adorable cat dressed in an Ottoman-inspired outfit, surrounded by beloved elements of Turkish daily life — a steaming glass of çay, sweet baklava, and recognizable Istanbul landmarks. The illustration focuses on hospitality, warmth, and shared moments rather than formal symbolism, making it relatable and heartfelt. The front caption reads “Hayırlı Olsun!”, a widely used Turkish phrase offered during new beginnings, gifts, celebrations, and happy news. It carries wishes of goodness, ease, and positive outcomes — a phrase deeply woven into everyday Turkish life. On the reverse, a simple keepsake message completes the design: Bir fincan çay, bir dilim mutluluk. (“A cup of tea, a slice of happiness.”) Designed as an evergreen Turkish cultural gift, this artwork is perfect for: Turkish and Turkish-diaspora families Gifting to Turkish friends or loved ones Housewarmings, new jobs, celebrations, and good news Cat lovers who appreciate culturally inspired illustration The overall tone is cozy, welcoming, and culturally authentic — familiar rather than formal, and warm rather than decorative.
